That is life(?)
Summer — window just opened to capture.
Urban routine: some pause, most rush — none truly free.

A typical urban summer morning: window just opened, muted colors. Birds perch on electric wires above a narrow city street lined with parked cars and concrete buildings. People walk below, moving through tight, defined spaces filled with street lamps and signs—a dense, compact city scene accepted as “normal life,” though many dream of escaping it once opportunity arrives. The photo quietly contrasts the stillness of a pigeon with the routine movements of people, capturing the resigned rhythm of daily urban existence.

"Photo"

When the signals fade, the lines blur, and the power wanes, a bird reminds the sky.

We see a lone gull perched atop a slender antenna, itself anchored on a rooftop chimney with faded red stacks. The background is a deep, nearly surreal blue, crossed by faint, linear traces — maybe power lines, maybe echoes of contrails — suggesting motion, connection, or interference.

I went in town to capture the unseen - watchers were already there, with two legs on one eye.

Summer midday sun shines above a towering human-made building and a mall, with vivid red flowers in the foreground. The entire scene is edited in muted colors, conveying a feeling of connection. The unblinking sun hangs beyond reach, mankind’s grandeur dwarfed by its own shadow, while the fragile, addictive red blooms cling as the only truth to the earth. Color speaks where words fall silent, holding countless unspoken thoughts in a single tone.

A priceless lens — out of focus, blurred as it gets. Be creative. Don’t just sharpen it.

"Turn around"

None will be here around, Even the author — delicate as it sound; fragile at the touch; why then paint all green?

A small bird stands alone on a sunlit concrete sidewalk near the shadow of a black wheel. Part of a white electric scooter with a green-painted handlebar is visible in the upper right, its front black wheel casting a circular shadow on the ground. The composition highlights the contrast between the fragile bird and the cold urban elements, inviting reflection on the meaning of “green” progress.

A solitary white swan floats gracefully on a calm, dark lake, centered near the bottom of the frame. Behind it, dense, muted green foliage fills the background, creating a soft wall of natural texture. The swan’s reflection shimmers faintly in the still water, subtly echoing its form. The overall tone of the image is subdued and elegant, with a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

Pigeon in open place gathered together. The photo is edited to give a cinematic touch dim enough to show the subject.

A man walks slowly away from warm sunlight, his long shadow cast diagonally onto a distant pillar. The subtle dislocation—him in one corner, his shadow in another—creates a surreal, poetic tension, as if his presence is split between here and elsewhere.

A small starling with one leg tucked up stands near a modern urban fountain, where water cascades vertically from a slim spout. The fountain is surrounded by geometric paving and blurred buildings in the distance. The scene feels still and contemplative, as if the bird is pausing to watch rain fall from the ground up.

A bridge between a gap of evolution and its prestine environment - delicate and light as a feather - requires framing, capturing and sharing.
